	Facet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The organization of naturally occurring facets was key to early developments in crystallography, since they reflect the underlying symmetry of the crystal structure.
		Of the many hundreds of facet arrangements that have been used, the most famous is probably the round brilliant cut, used for diamond and many colored gemstones.
		This arrangement of 57 facets was calculated by Marcel Tolkowsky in 1919.

	GIS/EM4 - FACET: an object-oriented software framework for modeling complex social behavior patterns
		FACET was specifically developed to address the need for a simulation software architecture in the style of an agent-based approach, but with sufficient robustness, expressiveness, and flexibility to be able to deal with the levels of complexity seen in real-world social situations.
		FACET is generically designed and allows implementation of societal behaviors that range in scope from simple stepwise flowcharts, such as would be needed to articulate a land use plan, to complex interactions between individuals and organizations engaged in multiple concurrent transactions and vying for the same resources.
		Currently, ANL is exploring the use of FACET for the development of more complex COA models, such as those that would be needed to implement scenarios of urban development and sprawl, sustainable development in both rural and urban areas, and the socioeconomic impacts of global climate change.

	Facet Joint
		The facet joints are important in restricting the motion of the cervical and lumbar spine.
		Facet joints have been demonstrated to cause pain in studies in which healthy volunteers were subjected to injections of normal saline into the joint.
		For patients with facet joint pain from the lower back, complaints usually consist of pain or tenderness in the lower back slightly over to one or both sides, pain with lower back extension, pain with twisting, radiation of pain to the buttocks or back of the thighs.

	Facet joint disorders and back pain
		The facet joints, or joints with “small faces” are found at every spinal level (except at the top level) and provide about 20% of the torsional (twisting) stability in the neck and low back.
		Facet joints are in almost constant motion with the spine and quite commonly simply wear out or become degenerated in many patients.
		When facet joints become worn or torn the cartilage may become thin or disappear and there may be a reaction of the bone of the joint underneath producing overgrowth of bone spurs and an enlargement of the joints.

	Facet Syndrome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Cervical facet syndrome can develop after patients suddenly turn their head, have a car accident, hold their neck in a particular position for a long time, have vertebral subluxations (stuck or misaligned joints), or develop poor posture or sleeping habits.
		Facet syndrome is closely related to facet irritation, which is a similar condition that involves irritation and dysfunction of the facet joint.
		The difference between the two is that with facet irritation the pain is localized to the facet joints and with facet syndrome the pain is present in the joints as well as other areas.

		Facet joints have been shown capable of causing pain in the neck, upper and mid back, and low back with pain referred to the head or upper extremity, chest wall, and lower extremity in normal volunteers [16-26].
		Facet joints have been implicated as a cause of chronic spinal pain in 15% to 45% of patients with chronic low back pain [32-39], 48% of patients with thoracic pain [43], and 54% to 67% of patients with chronic neck pain [39-42].
		Facet joint pain occurred in at least one region of the spine in 43% of patients, in two regions in 15%, and in all three regions in 2% of patients.

	Lumbar Zygapophysial (Facet) Joint Injections (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Once a facet joint is pinpointed as a source of pain, therapeutic injections of anesthesia and antiinflammatory medications may give pain relief for longer periods of time.
		Facet joint injections are performed while you are awake, under a local anesthetic, and able to communicate.
		It has been recommended that facet injections be used as a method to allow the patient to be able to perform other forms of conservative treatment (such as physical exercise, yoga and stretching and bending), rather than using it as a stand-alone pain treatment.

		The facet joint block is a procedure where a local anesthetic medication (such as lidocaine or Novocain) is injected into the facet joint.
		During a facet joint block, you will probably be given medication to help you relax, then a local anesthetic in the skin around the area of the back where the needle will be inserted.
		The risks associated with a facet joint block include infection of the joint and an allergic reaction to the medication that is injected.

	IAwiki: FacetedClassification (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Faceted classification is also called analytico-synthetic, named after the two main processes involved in the composition of a call number [an alphabetic or alphanumeric notation].
		Facets are "clearly defined, mutually exclusive, and collectively exhaustive aspects, properties or characteristics of a class or specific subject" ([Maple 1995])
		The classic example of a faceted information domain is wine, where any given bottle of fermented grape juice gets classified in a small number of "facets" such as varietal, location of origin, price bracket, cellaring, and food suitability.

	The Role Of Radiofrequency Facet Denervation In Chronic Low Back Pain
		The course of the medial branch of the dorsal ramus is fixed anatomically at two points: at its origin near the superior aspect of the base of the transverse process, and distally where it emerges from the canal formed by the mammillo-accessory ligament.
		Yang and King have demonstrated that lumbar facets carry 3-25% of the spinal load in normal conditions, and up to 47% of the load when the facets are arthritic.
		The facet capsules are primarily loaded in flexion and in rotation, and thus the facet joints are the primary resistors against rotational or torsional forces.

	Facet Shoppe: Getting Started in Faceting Colored Stones
		Faceting, in general terms, means fashioning the surface of a gemstone in a design of small faces (or "facets").
		Typically, facets are flat surfaces, but some gemcutters create "fantasy cuts" by cutting grooves into the surface of the stone--as a merge of faceting and gem carving.
		While this style of cutting is used on many gemstones that are often faceted, this is not a variety of faceting- cabochons have a continuous (usually curved) surface, not a surface consisting of many small faces.

		Facet joints are true synovial joints, with a joint space, hyaline cartilage surfaces, a synovial membrane, and a fibrous capsule.
		Biomechanical studies of the facet joint during extension and of facet capsular ligaments strained during rotation initially provided the belief that facet joint pain is worse with extension and rotation.
		Intra-articular facet joint injection (see Images 1-3): Numerous early studies are not worth mentioning because of their serious flaws with diagnostic criteria, the location of injections, and the injection volumes used.

	A Simplified Model for Facet Analysis
		The CRG looked to Ranganathan's theory of facet analysis to serve as the basis for all bibliographic classification systems, but modified aspects of this theory that it felt were too restrictive (Austin 1969; Classification Research Group 1985; Wilson 1972).
		The model could be used by designers of faceted classification systems and IR thesauri, because these designers might also need to consult a variety of sources to obtain the principles of facet analysis needed for their work.
		Faceted notation is certainly useful for indicating more clearly how subjects are derived, but could result in rather lengthy notation in the case of compound subject that are derived from different classes and facets.

	Facet joint problems
		Facet arthritis (degeneration of the facet joint) is currently a contraindication for any type of disc replacement.
		Facet joints are in almost constant motion with the spine and can simply wear out or become degenerated over time, leading to a process that produces bone spurs and an enlargement of the joints.

	XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes
		Rather than being defined solely in terms of a prose description the datatypes in this specification are defined in terms of the synthesis of facet values which together determine the ·value space· and properties of the datatype.
		Facets are of two types: fundamental facets that define the datatype and non-fundamental or constraining facets that constrain the permitted values of a datatype.
		For each datatype, the ·value space· and ·lexical space· are defined, ·constraining facet·s which apply to the datatype are listed and any datatypes ·derived· from this datatype are specified.

	Ranganathan and Facet Analysis
		A faceted system recognizes that any given subject has many aspects, and tries to synthesize these aspects in a way that best describes the subject.
		The facets, which are labeled in the Colon Classification system by Arabic numbers, are then combined to make subordinate classes as needed.
		Thus, the basic subject "handicrafts" of the topic "19th-century woven wool Peruvian clothing handicrafts" would have the isolate from the personality facet "clothing"; from the matter facet, "wool"; from the energy facet, "woven"; from the space facet, "Peru"; and from the time facet, "19th century".

	Injections for back pain management
		The facet joints are paired joints in the back that have opposing surfaces of cartilage (cushioning tissue between the bones) and a surrounding capsule.
		In a facet block procedure, a physician uses fluoroscopy (live x-ray) to guide the needle into the facet joint capsule to inject lidocaine (a numbing agent) and/or a steroid (an anti-inflammatory medication).
		If the facet block procedure is effective in alleviating the patient's low back pain, it is often considered reasonable for the procedure to be done up to three times per year.
